Consenting adults review
Published: April 30, 2008
extremely useful review
Consenting Adults is one of the best adult games I've played. It is an actual GAME, rather than just a "draw a card and perform the action" deck. It's also got some activities that even I would have to consider carefully before performing!
Pros:
Interesting game-play, wide variety of cards, not every card is an easy decision to perform or not
Cons:
Lack of artwork, endgame is lacking
Consenting Adults is definitely one of the best sexual games I have played. It is well-thought out and an actual GAME, not just a deck of “draw a card and do what it says.”
The cards are divided by point value by 10’s, from “10” to “80.” As may be expected, the higher the point value of the card, the more risqué the tasks on it. Each card has four selections, ranging from “Kiss”, “Touch,” “Show,” “Tell,” and combinations thereof. Most of the suggestions are interesting and sexy, or thought-provoking. Many involve actions performed partially clothed; many involve actions performed naked. There are 200 activity cards in the deck with four possible actions each, so there is a wide range of suggestions to suit every taste. What really surprised me is that the deck actually has some activities I would NOT perform, such as circling your house or apartment in your underwear or making out with your partner outside for 2 minutes naked (ok, maybe in the dead of night!)—and I consider myself fairly sexually adventurous.
One thing I really like about Consenting Adults is that it makes consenting to an action or not an actual part of the game, and you can choose the time limit/point total to which to play. You keep cards as they are successfully performed. If you do not want to perform an act, or it is simply too much for you, you can opt not to perform it. However, not performing acts or answering questions costs you points, and you must surrender the point value of the drawn card in cards from your own hand. If you do not have enough points in your hand to cover the value of the card you wish to opt out of, you can discard your entire hand and remove one article of clothing. There are also random cards that just make you discard points. As I said, this game is more complex and well thought out than most adult games!
There is no artwork in the game to speak of, but it is still attractively designed and packaged with a red, white and black color scheme. Both the box and the cards appear sturdy.
My only complaint with Consenting Adults is the endgame. It is basically “choose what you want to do at the beginning of the game and the loser has to do it.” Rather “meh,” if you ask me.

Follow-up commentary
4 months after original review
This is, by far, the best adult-oriented game I've ever played! My husband and I are both gamers (computer, board, card--you name it!), and this one appeals to us because it is actually a GAME as well as a sexual activity. If you're up for something a little more challenging in a sex game, definitely check out "Consenting Adults"!

Consenting Adults Game Discontinued?
-
OneSexyWifeyAww. :( I've been waiting a month or two for the Consenting Adults game to be back in stock, but now it's been discontinued. And it looked so good (mostly because of Dame Demi's review of it)!
I was just curious why it was discontinued. *sigh* It's more expensive other places, too (I looked around while it was out of stock--I wanted it that bad). -
BulmaI really wanted to get this game too. :( There were three items I'd been waiting almost 3 months to come back in stock, this being one of them. Too bad, as I thought it looked like fun. -
Beautiful DreamerI, too, had this in my wish list waiting. Damnit. :(

Wow...a sex game with actual points. I confess myself amazed.
You have to be able to count and add and subtract!
Ooh! I've always been a bit disappointed by the adult games on the market, this one sounds quite neat! Perhaps I'll give it a spin after I try out the one I just bought.
Does this have rules for more than two players?
Pria, I think you will definitely not be disappointed in this game, since it IS actually a GAME and has some difficult choices to make! And yes, there are rules for more than one partner. I sincerely hope you will try it out, it's totally missing the lameness factor found in so many adult games! Happy playing!
Excellent, thanks so much! :)
I've subscribed to be told when it comes back in stock. I'll be waiting somewhat impatiently to share it with (all) my lovers.
I'm being told when it is back in stock, too. It sounds like a really good game. Great review! Really thourough. :)
Thanks! Really great for a sex game!
Great! I didn't realize this could be adapted to more than two people. I will definitely be marking this one to get when it's available again.
I certainly hope they do restock it--it's a blast!
Could this game work for two women?
I definitely think so. Worst case, you might have to leave out a card or two, but I don't even think that would be necessary.
